The cold air
Brushes her cheek
Sending a tiny chill
Down her spine
A slight shiver
Tries to escape
As she’s trying to sustain
Again and again

The Little Child Within
There’s a little child inside
Trembling with fear unknown
Even terrified to raise her head
To take a peek outside
Sitting in the darkest corner
Knees pulled to her face
Hands covering her eyes
She cries in tiny sobs
Hiccuping
Stained are her cheeks
Of tears dried
She has no idea
Why it’s so dark
She has no idea
What’s happening to her
She just lies there
For eternity knows when
With questions unanswered
Wisdom beyond her reach
After all
Awful image she is
Of the child I am within
